How Long Should I Wait To Get My Clothes Dry Cleaned?
How do you decide when a trip to the dry cleaners is needed? At White Star Dry Cleaner, our general suggestion is after 1-3 wears. If the item has been touching your skin all day it could use a spot clean in between wears. Typically clothes that state ‘dry clean only’ can last a few wears before it needs to be dry cleaned, unless they have a strong odor or are wrinkled. Below is a guide provided by White Star Dry Cleaner that can help you determine when to come see us.
